16. Procedure
for imposing major penalties – (1)
Without prejudice to the provisions of the Public Servants’ (Inquiries) Act,
1850, no order shall be passed imposing any of the penalties specified in
clauses (iv) to (vii) of rule 14 on an officer unless he has been informed in
writing of the grounds on which it is proposed to take action and has been
afforded an opportunity of defending himself in the manner hereinafter
provided.

(2) The grounds on
which it is proposed to take action shall be reduced to the form of a definite
charge of charges which shall be communicated to the officer charge together
with a statement of the allegations on which each charge is based and of any
other circumstances which it is proposed to take into consideration in passing
orders on the case.

(3) The Officer shall be
required, within such time as may be considered by the Disciplinary Authority
to be reasonably adequate in the circumstances of the case, to put in a written
statement of his defence and to state whether he desires to be heard in person.

(4) The officer charged may
ask for permission to inspect and take notes from official records for the
purpose of preparing his written statement, provided that the Disciplinary
Authority may, for reasons to be recorded in writing, refuse him such
permission if in its opinion such records are not strictly relevant to the case
of it is not desirable in the public interest to grant such permission.

(5) After the written
statement is received from the officer in accordance with sub-rule (3), or, if
no such written statement is received within the time allowed, the Disciplinary
authority may, if it considers it necessary, appoint a Board of Inquiry or an
inquiry Officer to inquire into the charges framed against the officers and
shall have the charges inquired into as provided in sub-rule (6). If the
Disciplinary Authority does not consider it necessary to appoint a Board of
Inquiry or an Inquiry Officer, the Disciplinary Authority shall itself inquire
into the charges in such manner as it deems fit.

(6)
If the Officer desires to be heard in person, he shall be so heard. If he
desires that an oral inquiry be held, or if the Disciplinary authority so
directs, an oral inquiry shall be held by the Board of Inquiry or the Inquiry
officer, as the case may be. At such inquiry, evidence shall be taken as to
such of the allegations as are not admitted and the officer charged shall be
entitled to cross examine the witnesses who give evidence in person and to have
such witnesses called as he may wish.

Provided that the Board of
Inquiry or the Inquiry officer, as the case may be, may, for reasons to be
recorded in writing, refuse to call any witness whose evidence is, in the
opinion of the Board or Officer, not relevant or material.

(7)
At the conclusion of the inquiry, the authority inquiring into the
charges shall prepare a report of the inquiry recording its findings on each of
the charges together with the reasons therefore. If, in the opinion of such
authority, the proceedings of the inquiry establish charges different from
those originally framed, it may record its findings on such charges :

Provided that the findings on
such charges shall not be recorded unless the officer charged has admitted the
facts constituting them or has had an opportunity of defending himself against
them.

(8)
The record of the inquiry shall include-

(i)
the charges framed against the officer and the
statement of allegations furnished to him under sub-rule (2)

(ii)
his written statement of defence, if any;

(iii)
the evidence recorded in the course of the inquiry;

(iv)
the orders, if any, made by the Disciplinary Authority and the authority making
the inquiry in regard to the inquiry; and

(v)
a report setting out the findings on each charge and the reasons
therefore.

(9)
The Disciplinary Authority shall, if it is not the inquiring authority,
consider the record of the inquiry and determine which of the findings of the
Board of Inquiry or of the Inquiry Officer, as the case may be, it accepts.

(10)
If the Disciplinary Authority, having regard to the findings recorded or
accepted by it, is of the opinion that any of the penalties specified in
clauses (iv) to (vii) of rule 14 should be imposed, it shall –

(a)
furnish to the officer a copy of the report of the inquiry
together with a statement of such findings; and

(b)
give him a notice stating the action proposed to be taken in
regard to him and calling upon him to submit within a specified time, such
representation as he may wish to make against the proposed action:

Provided that if the
Disciplinary Authority disagrees with any part or the whole of the findings of
the Board of Inquiry or the Inquiry Officer, the point or points of such
disagreement together with a brief statement of the grounds therefore
shall also be communicated to the officer.

(11)
The Disciplinary authority shall, determine, having regard to the findings recorded
or accepted by it, and the representation, if any, made by the officer under
sub-rule (10), what penalty if any, should be imposed on the officer and pass
appropriate orders on the case and the orders so passed shall be communicated
to the officer.

(12)
Notwithstanding anything contained in this rule, it shall be lawful for the
Disciplinary Authority to waive, for good and sufficient reasons to be recorded
in writing, any of the provisions of this rule excepting sub-rule (10) in any
exceptional case where such authority is satisfied that there is difficulty in
strictly complying with such provisions and that compliance with such provision
can be waived without any injustice to the officer concerned.

17. Procedure for imposing minor penalties
–

(1)
No order shall be passed imposing any of the penalties specified
in clauses (i) to (iii) of rule 14 on, an officer except after –

placing him under suspension, or

charge or otherwise, for a period longer than forty-eight hours, shall be
deemed to have been suspended under this rule.

the Disciplinary Authority, be placed under suspension until the termination of

the Secretariat or is likely to embarrass him in the discharge of his duties in
the Secretariat or involves moral turpitude:

Provided
that in the case of an officer on deputation to the Secretariat, the
Secretariat shall without delay inform the lending authority of the circumstances
in which that officer was placed under suspension.

with the Secretariat pass such orders on the case as it deems necessary :

Provided that, in the event of a difference of opinion
between the borrowing authority and the Secretariat, the services of the
officer shall be replaced at the disposal of the Secretariat;

authority is of the opinion that any of the penalties specified in clauses (iv)
to (vii) of rule 14 should be imposed on the officer, it shall replace his

provisions of sub-rules (10) and (11) of rule 16.
